Love at First Book by Jenn McKinlay
5.0
When I started Love at First Book I expected a fun rom-com about an American librarian running away from life in the states right into the arms of the grumpy Irish bookstore owner. What I was not expecting was to be crying in my bathtub at midnight.
I devoured this book, it had everything I could want in a contemporary romance. The main characters were so real. Em and Kier had such emotional depth they could've been some of my closest friends. They both went through growth in the book, with each other, themselves, and the side characters. The relationship between Kier and his mother was especially touching, While Em moved across the world to learn how to set boundaries with her mother. I found my self laughing at their wicked banter and Quote competition.
The small Irish town of Finn's Hollow was filled with so much beautiful imagery. The side characters are so funny and welcoming, you'll want to book a flight to Ireland to find such wonderful hospitality. You'll want to spend days at the bookshop eating pastries and drinking lots of tea just to widen your smile.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a heartwarming, inspiring, and genuine romance story.
